Response explanations for each of the five enzymes and diseases/illnesses listed should be in the range of 200 words to address and answer the question with sufficient details, including where in the cell the enzyme is produced, where the enzyme is located, the function of the enzyme and what specifically happens to the enzymatic activity (i.e., increase, decrease or absent) in the disease/illness.
● It is a requirement to use three additional reliable and credible sources (two must be primary sources and the other can be a primary or secondary source; linked below) in conjunction with what is presented in the class, the Module 7 AA directions, and required readings. All information used from sources used must be cited per APA – UNE Library APA Style Guide linked below. ** If no additional sources are used to supplement your responses, it is an automatic ‘0’.**

The five enzymes and respective disease/illnesses to discuss in detail are listed below:
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to detect liver disease
- Creatine kinase (CK) to detect heart or skeletal muscle injuries
- Pancreatic lipase (PL) associated with disorders of the pancreas
- Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as an indicator for liver function
- Alkaline phosphatase (AP) to indicate bone growth
